Particle textures... how do I find them?

stevethepocket · 04-12-2011, 02:01 PM

I'm working on a player mod for TF2 that involves editing the particle effect used when the Scout drinks his Bonk! From the looks of it, I don't need to edit the particle file or anything, just the texture used for it. Hopefully. But I have no idea where to find that file. I've hunted down some other particle textures, but not this one. Does anyone know where to look?

Open the particle system up and check what it's using.

Thanks! I can't find it, though. I found the one for the glow effect around the Scout's body, but not the trail. Looking through the /materials/effects/ folder didn't bring up anything that looks like what I'm looking for either.

I'm much more confident now that it's a material file I can easily edit, but I still don't know what file it is. Anyone got a clue what this is called?

materials/particles/drink/drink_goop3.vmt
materials/particles/drink/drink_goop3.vtf
materials/particles/drink/drink_goop3_spray.vmt

Maybe?

That's the green liquid that appears when you switch to it and he twirls it and catches it. Good guess though.
